Gizmag - "take the best bits of a computer mouse and a gaming joystick and puts them into one device"

So I guess Ringbow is a ring?

Ringbow is the world’s first wearable accessory for touch devices that provides the functionalities of a mouse, keyboard and joystick simultaneously with your touch. Ringbow transforms touch screen gaming, allows remote control of your operating system, applications, music apps and presentation tools, allows you to operate and answer your phone remotely and turns your device into a multi-user or multi-player platform.

Since touch screens are controlled with fingers, a finger-worn tool, specifically a ring, is the natural choice for complementing them. Operating Ringbow with your thumb, in conjunction with using a touch device, enables countless new features and a much more efficient user experience. Ringbow multiplies the functionality of your finger together with allowing amazing simultaneous actions providing powerful capabilities and layers of functionality that are simply not available in today’s technologies.

actions.

Ringbow lets you free your fingers from your device, leaving your
hands available to do whatever you feel like doing: eating a sandwich, drinking a beer, high-fiving your buddy or stroking a puppy. Whatever you'd choose to do with your hands!

Ringbow innovates touch devices’ gameplay,
offering unique additions to existing mobile games as well as developing new games that couldn’t previously be played on
touch devices. Ringbow also makes porting consoles games and PC games to mobile devices easier than ever which can be done without affecting and damaging their great experience.

Using Ringbow is extremely easy and staggeringly simple. It
is designed to provide natural gaming control, similar to the way we operate
our console’s controllers. This allows for an intuitive gaming experience and a sense
of tactile feedback which greatly enhances the user experience.

Ringbow works on
Android, iOS (coming very soon) and supports any Bluetooth enabled device. It works
natively with the operating system and with a large variety of existing applications,
although our mission is to provide users with brand new cool features. To do that
we've partnered with some leading game developers so that Kickstarter supporters will receive
a package of exclusive games with their Ringbow. We also hope that you’ll use our
API to enhance your own apps so we can add them to our games and apps
directory.

- Game package (see below) including games that were especially
designed to support Ringbow, native control of the operating systems and a list
of many games that naturally supports Ringbow and works automatically.

This very first Ringbow model is described as a gaming
accessory but it can do much, much more. You can use Ringbow for remote
browsing while reading; to correct misspelled emails; to act as a remote
control for your TV; to answer phone
calls while driving; to transform your tablet into a gaming console for your kids;

Back us and you'll be among the first to get your hands (or should we say fingers!) on a Ringbow

For the last 2 years we have been researching the
concept of Ringbow and developing the product. We’ve built a number of working
prototypes in a variety of ergonomic designs, conducted an impressive
commercial pilot with AT&T and recently completed the final Ringbow design and we are now ready
to manufacture it for the masses! Prospective partners, distributers and users have recognized Ringbow's great potential, but in order to take the product to the market we need your help.

Your support will allow us to establish a
production line, manufacture the product and expand our games and applications offering so that Ringbow
users will enjoy a new and exclusive experience.
